Cadets being addressed by a senior officer at the NCC camp, 1965

Administrators , Campus Buildings , Students

The NCC camp was held in December at Narmada Hostel. This photograph appears to have been taken in the hostel zone although we cannot determine if it was specifically in Narmada Hostel. Prof. B. Sengupto (Director of IIT Madras) is seated on the stage.

According to ‘Red Letter Days’, an article written by Vijay G. published in the Annual Number of IIT Madras, 1965, the camp lasted for 14 days. He writes, “The camp ended on the 1st of January. The 18 years I have lived on the face of this Earth, I have never received a better New Year Greeting. I reached home, intact.”
